Starting today the DBacks play 11 road games in 11 days. They play 4 in Milwaukee, 3 in Pittsburgh then 4 in Miami.

I've never done a poll so I will just ask how many wins do you think they will come back with and how many wins would you consider a successful road trip. (I know we all want to win all 11 but let's give a realistic guess).

We are averaging 3.6 runs a game on the road and are 8-11. In contrast we have dominated at home, where we are 21-8, averaging 6 runs a game.

I'm predicting we go 7-4. I would consider 6-5 or any winning record as a success.

What do you guys think?

split in with the brewers, sweep the Pirates, take 3 out of 4 from the Marlins.
8-3

I'm with you on 7-4. Either way, I'd be fine with 6-5 but would not like them to go 5-6 or below.

Considering Pitt and Miami stink, theres no good reason we shouldnt sweep them both.

92% of baseball is standing around waiting. The "tired" excuse doesnt fly with me.

I will have them lose the series to the Brewers, win the series against Pitt and Miami. So 6-5

Felt like they kicked the ball around all weekend. 5-6 will work but need to get rested and rolling at home

Yeah, if they can recoup and get back on track at home, that away series won't be that big of a deal.
